It Had To Be That Guy..

[HannahElizaW]

Hello, I need advice on what to pray or what to do in this situation. I have a hard enough time with distractions as is when concerning my walk with Christ, but recently I've developed a crush on a guy who's not only a born again Christian...but has a girlfriend. So now, not only am I distracted, I'm sinning in the process (covetness).

How do I overcome this obstacle?

I guess the best thing to do would be to accept it and try and see this guy as a friend. I think the feelings you have for him will go away once your emotions process that fact.

And don't beat yourself up over coveting. A crush isn't necessarily like that unless you make up a scheme for his current girlfriend to break up with him.

You are not sinning in simply having a crush on someone, Hannah. Grandvizer is right; only if you were to start being manipulative in order to win him over from someone who already has him in some way would you then be in the wrong.
